Frequently asked questions
Why choose QuikRing over Viber?
QuikRing does one job: it calls real mobile and landline numbers from your browser, at a per-minute price shown before you dial.
Do I need an app to use QuikRing?
No. QuikRing runs in the browser on your laptop, tablet or phone. You sign up with an email address, add credit and dial.
Can I use QuikRing from any country?
From most countries, yes. QuikRing works in any browser and signing up needs only an email address. A few territories are excluded by US export-control rules, and the Terms list them. The destinations you can call, with their rates, are listed on the Rates page.
Does Viber Out credit expire?
Under Viber's terms of service (last updated August 18, 2026), Viber Out credit that is not used for six months is frozen, and you can reactivate it from your Viber Out account. The same terms say the credit is lost if the Viber account is deactivated, and that for Japanese (+81) numbers it expires 180 days after purchase. Unused QuikRing credit does not expire.
Do Viber Out plans renew automatically?
Yes. Viber's terms of service say Viber Out subscription payments are recurring and renew until you cancel, and that unused minutes do not roll over to the next month. QuikRing has no subscription for calling: you add credit and spend it per started minute, and auto top-up stays off unless you turn it on.
